Etymology

The word 'launch' originates from the Middle English term 'launche', which is derived from the Old French 'lanรงer', meaning 'to throw'. This verb evolved around the 14th century, used primarily in the context of throwing or hurling an object. The nautical sense of the word, relating to the act of setting a ship or boat into the water, appeared shortly after. As technology developed, 'launch' began to be associated with the domain of aerospace, specifically the act of sending rockets and spacecraft into orbit. The advent of space exploration in the mid-20th century further solidified 'launching' as a term associated with significant endeavors in science and exploration, encapsulating both the technical and celebratory aspects of sending vehicles into space.
